Coppell baseball coach Don English could face former team — Plano East — in first round

With Coppell currently in second place in District 7-5A and Plano East tied for third in 8-5A, there’s a pretty good chance that the two teams could meet in the first round of the playoffs.

If that happens, Coppell’s Don English would coach against the school he left for Coppell. That was nine years ago, so many people probably don’t know that English coached Plano East for six years and led the Panthers to four 20-win seasons. English, who has coached for 29 years, also started the program at West Mesquite and was Highland Park’s head coach for nine years.
